The theme of the second Thursday’s personal growth lesson was “Gratitude,” in which students were expected to feel the good things happening in life and express positive emotions.

Students and teachers thought about ways to express gratitude to themselves, their classmates, teachers, and parents during this lesson. The teachers took the students through a practice session on how to express their emotions of gratitude. Finally, each student put their gratitude into action. They could choose to write a warm message to themselves; they could express their appreciation for their teachers, and they could express their gratitude through drawing. The school hopes students will keep expressing gratitude in their daily lives, experiencing positive emotions.

Let’s take a look at the surprise thankful cards made by the students!
